N2 - The study aimed to identify the extent of biology teachers' awareness regarding the importance of virtual laboratories in teaching biology for secondary school. It also intended to develop a proposal to enable biology teachers to use virtual laboratories in teaching secondary level. To achieve these aims, the descriptive-analytical approach was used. The research sample consisted of fifty female biology teachers at the secondary level in the city of Al-Kharj. The study applied the questionnaire as its main tool to gather data. The study concluded that the degree of awareness among female biology teachers regarding the importance of virtual laboratories in teaching biology for the secondary level was found at a moderate level. Besides, the ability of female biology teachers to use virtual laboratories in teaching biology for the secondary stage was low. Considering these results, a proposal was developed to enable female biology teachers to use virtual laboratories in teaching biology for secondary school.
